Derek Theler goes shirtless for the 2012 August/September issue of Da Man Magazine.

The 26-year-old heartthrob dished to the glossy about his hit ABC Family show, pickup lines, and his style. Here’s what the Baby Daddy actor had to share:

On talking to ladies: “I’m pretty down to earth and enjoy talking to people. I don’t usually get nervous. I think it is important to be yourself, be honest and be confident when approaching women. I’m definitely not a guy that uses corny pickup lines. Because of my size, I try to do what I can to not intimidate other people, so I usually sit back, observe and wait for the right opportunity.”

On being a funny guy: “(Laughs) I have my moments. The cast of this show helps a lot because we joke around all the time, we are good friends and we play off each other.”
